Sec. 22.1  Duty at a station of the Service devoted to the care of Hansen's disease patients; additional pay.

    (a) Non-commissioned officers and other employees of the Service 
shall not receive any additional compensation by reason of being 
assigned to any duty requiring intimate contact with persons with 
Hansen's disease. However, any such officer or employee who was 
entitled, on January 4, 1986, to receive additional pay by reason of 
being assigned to full-time duty, for a period of 30 days or more, at a 
station of the Service devoted to the care of Hansen's disease patients 
and who continues to be assigned to such duty, shall receive special pay 
as long as such assignment continues without a break.
    (b) Such special pay shall, on any future date, be at an annual 
dollar level equal to the lower of the levels that would be paid under 
the following subparagraphs:
    (1) 25% of the lowest level of basic pay that he or she has been 
receiving on any date from January 4, 1986, through that future date;
    (2) The amount by which the level of an employee's basic pay plus 
special pay on January 4, 1986, exceeds the level of that employee's 
basic pay on that on that future date, except that

the special pay under this subparagraph shall not be less that 12 times 
the monthly special pay then paid to Commissioned Officers entitled to 
special pay for duty involving intimate contact with persons who have 
Hansen's disease. (As of October 24, 1985, that monthly rate was $110.)
    (c) An officer or employee may be paid special pay for any pay 
period, under paragraphs (a) and (b) of this section, only to the extent 
that it does not cause his or her aggregate pay for that pay period to 
exceed the biweekly rate of basic pay for Level V of the Executive 
Schedule. As used in this paragraph, ``aggregate pay'' comprises basic 
pay, this special pay, and premiums for overtime, nightwork, irregular 
duty, standby status, and Sunday or holiday work.
